Soos ons dit verstaan, is hierdie riviertjie en verhewenheid oostelik en suidelik van Oudtshoorn geleë, maar nog die naam Angois nog Nattege- bergte kom in ons bronne voor. Nattegebergte vertaal Angois waarvan die eerste lid soos Nama ǀa = 'nass' (Rust 1960 DNW 45) is, met die nasali- teit van die klinker in die spelling konsonanties gerealiseer as ǀang. Die tweede kompositum is soos Nama ǀui-s = klip, berg, of anders +gui-s = (berg)neus.
